Impact

By exploiting the described vulnerabilities, the attacker potentially is able to manipulate or disrupt the device.

Solution

Mitigation

  • Disable I/O-Check service
  • Restrict network access to the device.
  • Do not directly connect the device to the internet.

Solution

The I/O-Check service protocol is only needed during installation and commissioning, not during normal operations. It is highly recommended to disable the I/O-Check service after commissioning. This is the easiest and securest way to protect your device from the listed vulnerabilities and possible upcoming zero-day exploits.
Regardless to the action described above, the vulnerability has been fixed in FW18 Patch 3, released in June 2021.
We recommend all affected users to update to the latest firmware version.
